My first question is &quot;Where should normal.dot be when using roaming profiles in Windows 2000&quot;?<br />
When I search various PCs on the network I find that the Normal.dot template is to be found in various places.<br />
1: &nbsp; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates<br />
2: &nbsp; C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office<br />
3: &nbsp; C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;username here&gt;\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates<br />
4: &nbsp; C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;username here&gt;\Templates<br />
Where should it be?<br />
For me, I would like it to be under their own username in Documents and Settings so that everyone can have their own Normal.dot<br />
Why would there be a Normal.dot in Program Files? &nbsp;That would mean that every user would have to have the same template.<br />
<br />
Next question. &nbsp;Let's suppose that we choose file location number 3. &nbsp;That is my guess. &nbsp;If we choose number 3 how do we ensure that every user has their normal.dot template in their own version of pathname number 3? &nbsp;Finally, how do we ensure that new users logging into that PC also have their normal.dot template default to that same pathname?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
